Marching Band Awards

Welcome to our official award page for the Band class. They have had a long history, and as such, we have also won many awards over the year. Such achievements can go back to even the 1990s! Of course, it's not just the marching band that should be praised; all forms should be appreciated so they have also been included. This site will be updated whenever we receive prizes or accomplishments!
